Presentation Vesta Pear (CCFA) Changes to Charter Standard program for 2020-2021

Vesta gave a short presentation detailing changes to

  • Charter status, including a change of name and branding (please do not apply Charter standard badges to next season’s kit); there will be a new criteria for different tiers relating to football pathways.
  • Annual health check will become part of the affiliation process from the start of Season 2020. There should be no requirement from clubs-automatic roll out hopefully in September.
  • Grants – bursaries available if you have teams without a Level one coach…get in touch with CCFA
  • Grow the Game initiative will open on February 26th.
  • Goals – funding up to 75% of cost; can now bid for new and or replacement goals. Decision in principle almost immediately, written confirmation within 4 days. Can also apply for funding for storage containers and machinery.

Vesta will forward the slides she presented, and I will forward when received.

Paper copy of timeline available at the meeting:-

Key points……

email of intentions by MARCH 31st 2020

Word document containing all teams for next season, with correct name and age group for 20-21

Binding agreement BY POST only….April 30th 2020.

WEBSITE ***** IMPORTANT*****

We need images to make the website our own, advice from the web designer:-

Images… Anything & Everything…

 The only thing we won’t use are youngsters on their own… Individual shots of somebody receiving a trophy are OK as long as there are other people in shot…

 Lads (and lasses) playing are best… The Grounds, Team Kit, Team Buses, Trophies, Advertising Banners… basically anything and everything…

 The more we have the better… we can then select what works the best…!

PLEASE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR CLUB/TEAM IS REPRESENTED, MAKE THE WEBSITE OURS.

Please see Timperley Youth website for an idea of the sort of images, as we are following that format. J

Fines for January not yet issued; we are looking to streamline the process.
